I'm not sure if this is in the right place, so sorry in advance if it is I need some help on picking the right suspension for my car. I have a corsa and would like to have it lowered by 60mm. I've already got some G-Max 60mm springs, but i need some good shocks to go with them. I know a lot of people say the Bilstein B12 are the best, but i don't have that sort of money to spend.

Any sort of input would be great

so your not really bothered about the ride?

Why do you need new shocks at all?

GMAX are cheap, and pretty crap too.


think what you want your car to do..... handling wise.... think what you can get for your budget...

If its sub 500 then i'd hazzard a guess they are all pretty cak.... just go for some run of the mill fk's

If you just after looks... see above, or cheapest option

my friend had the yellow FK coilovers and they seemed very ruff plus he needed to fit wheel spacers with vauxhall wheels. Are the Spax RSX kits any good?

All coilovers will give a hard ride tbh. I had spax rsx and they were just as hard as my gmax. Pus I got annoyed with having to use wheel spacers etc so just put the gmax back on
